Carlos Sainz He was happy about his teammate’s historic victory, Charles LeclercIn monzathe house of FerrariThe Spanish driver finished fourth in the race. Italian Grand Prix of Formula 1 and he evaluated the result positively, especially for the wings it gives to his team for the short-term future, which is none other than the road tests of Baku And Singaporewhere he believes they can “repeat the victory.”
“Today we took risks with the team. We stopped with both cars and it worked. A very good moment because we were coming from difficult races. It helped us win the new package. I thought extending the first game would help me to be the only one to do only one stop. Maybe it took me a while, but the important thing is that we won and we have to celebrate it,” he began.
Sainz continued to talk about his team’s aspirations for the next two F1 weekends: “There are now two circuits where the victory can still be repeated. Baku and Singapore are circuits where Ferrari can run well and then we will have to wait for Austin to see if we have improved.
“Probably late, until lap 30, we didn’t know what could be done. I thought that extending until lap 20 and the rest 14 or 15 was the only one that had a chance. Then we saw that whoever stopped at 15 won the race. Our tyres recovered and we managed to reach the end,” he added of Ferrari’s one-stop strategy.
“These are Achilles heels that are also due to the fact that we did not have a good car on Sunday. Now that we have it, the strategies seem better. “I never tire of repeating it, but it is much easier to have the right strategy when you have a good race car than when you don’t,” he stressed.
The Madrilenian was key during some laps for the Monegasque to take such an important prestigious victory: “I knew that stopping was an option, but that I was not going to be the fastest. He finished two seconds behind Charles (Leclerc) and I hope I made him lose time (at Oscar Piastri)».
